PROFILE

Tommy Cooper was born on 9 March 1922 in CAE Philly, South Wales. Though technically Welsh, it was Devon that gave him his identity and his faint West Country burr - his parents had moved there shortly after his birth. Tommy Cooper's trade-mark was instituted whilst entertaining the troops in the NAFFI in Egypt during the second world war. Short of a pith helmet prop for his act, he whipped off a nearby waiters Fez and used that instead. The laugh he got for putting on a Fez was noted and the Fez became a permanent trade mark of Tommy Cooper's act. After leaving the Army in 1947, Tommy went on to a full time profession as a Music Hall stand-up comic. His television debut was on 24 December 1947 in the Leslie Henson Christmas Show. Despite a promising start, his career dried up and Tommy returned to live Variety Theatre to eek out a living. By the mid-50's he was doing one off television specials such as Saturday Showtime and Sunday Night at the London Palladium. These appearances were followed in 1957 by his first Television series for Associated-Rediffussion called Life with Cooper. It went out live on Monday night for 12 weeks and was such a success that even before the run was finished the studio had offered him another series. In 1958 the series was called Coopers Capers, again for ATV. A variety of TV shows and appearances followed (e.g. The Billy Cotton Band Show) and Tommy's career went from strength to strength. By the mid 60's he had firmly established himself as one of Britain's best loved comedians and was distinctive in his bright red Fez. Other TV shows followed (Life with Cooper, Cooper's Half Hour etc.,) but he will be remembered for his stage presence and Music Hall style act which he spent a lifetime perfecting - the comedians comedian - Tommy Cooper lives on in our hearts and his one liners are immortal - not like that, like that!
